ttflyer Posted September 28, 2023 Report Posted September 28, 2023 Hello all! I'm reaching out to the group to see if I can get some quality pictures of Hector's work. I've searched and found some low-resolution pictures (and a few decent resolution) but I'm looking for high resolution pictures of the headliner and sidewalls covered in the ultraleather. Not too concerned with the seats - just the plastic panel work. Does anyone have any they could share? Thanks! Quote

I did the removal and re-install. There are pictures on this link to the advertisement back in 2021: https://www.aircraft.com/aircraft/209401551/n134jf-1993-mooney-m20m-bravo Quote

I have no doubts! But I have two partners who don't frequent Mooneyspace and they are not quite sure what I signed us up for (even though they agreed six months ago to doing the work!). Just trying to show them why Hector is the man! Quote
Marc_B Posted September 28, 2023 Report Posted September 28, 2023 Hector does great work. Highly recommended and has a well known Mooney following. 2 Quote

hubcap Posted September 29, 2023 Report Posted September 29, 2023 I don’t have any pictures but Hector did the interior of Myrtle a few years before I bought her. Definitely 5 STARS quality work. Quote
Scott Ashton Posted September 29, 2023 Report Posted September 29, 2023 This is a big reason why I bought this airplane. It’s what you expect for a high end aircraft. Don’t hesitate. You won’t be disappointed…. 1 Quote
DCarlton Posted September 29, 2023 Report Posted September 29, 2023 Any insight into the wait time to get an appointment ? Quote

Aside from the awesome work by Hector.. This is one of 36 M20K Encore made from 1997-1998, hence the fiberglass side panels covered in ultraleather. It looks like the headliner which used to be Eurostretch-covered fiberglass had been recovered in ultraleather also (probably Hector). On older models Hector can cover the older style Royalite side panels with Ultraleather to made them look and and make them much more durable. The seats have Hector's name all over them. Quote

Original interior was maroon, old and worn with holes in seats (and not my style). Complete interior done by Aero Comfort. Went with a more sports car styling with dark brown and tan. Chose to not get the seats embroidered, but had Hector embroider the Mooney Thunderbird on bicolor yokes with black and the seat color. Choosing colors and carpets felt like a leap of faith but Hector helped out with nudges here and there and the final project turned out even better than I hoped. And to anyone having Aero Comfort redo seats...definitely do at least the pilot seat with confor foam upgrade...super comfortable for a traveling plane! 2 Quote
haymak3r Posted October 2, 2023 Report Posted October 2, 2023 Thanks guys! This is the next project to tackle, and will be starting my planning soon. Quote
ElkoRandy20J Posted October 3, 2023 Report Posted October 3, 2023 Hi all, I just picked up my 1979 J from Hector last Friday. Beautiful workmanship. Pictures don’t really show the close up detailed stitching. I am not sure how he does it but I am very satisfied. Randy 2 Quote
